Good evening food lovers hope you all have a good day.
Peppeckish returns this Wednesday 23rd at the Hill Station Cafe SE14 5TW and I wish to remind you that every Wednesdays throughout January you’ll be able to sample delicious handmade pasta and a glass of wine 🍷 ( or beer or soft drink) for £10.
The antipasti this week are incredible starting with torta di carciofi, roasted artichokes tart. The artichokes I got my hands on at the moment are very tender and flavoursome and I can’t wait to get my pastry rolling and filling it with these beauties.
The another antipasto is the incredible carne salata, smoked silverside beef served with new the season Tuscan olive oil and a fantastic 24 months D.O.P. Parmesan cheese. Simple and divine.
And the pastas this week include the traditional Neapolitan lasagna, which lately has been requested by many of the regular customers (I apologise for not putting it on the menu regularly).
The other pasta will be served with roasted romanesco cauliflower and Gorgonzola sauce. Delicious and comforting.
To finish I’ll be making for you a lovely blood orange 🍊 tart. I can’t wait to get cooking.
Remember that you can wash it all down with our lovely vino and beer.
A few spots left and I am so pleased for all your support already.
Have a lovely evening, stay warm and see you shortly 🙏🍝🍷 ..

He was arrested and exiled in 1615 for his work. Returning to England in 1618, he was arrested again. He sat in prison until 1623 when the Spanish ambassador obtained his release on condition that Alban leave England. Soon after, Alban returned to his homeland and continued his covert ministry. Arrested again in 1625, he lay in prison for 17 years before being tried and condemned to death for the crime of priesthood.

January 21st is also the Feast Day of Bl. Ines de Beniganim🙏🏼💐.

Born to a poor family, the daughter of Luigi and Vincenza Gomar. Her father died when Giuseppa was very young, and as a small girl she was known for a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her uncle, who had become a subsititute father to her, tried to arrange a marriage for the girl, but she always refused, being drawn to religious life. When her mother died when Giuseppa was 18, she was free from family obligations, and joined the Discalced Augustinians on 25 October 1643 at a convent in the diocese of Valencia, Spain, taking the name Sister Giuseppa Maria di Sant'Agnese and making her vows in the summer of 1644. She worked in the convent dispensary, prepared her deceased Augustinian sisters for the grave, and spent spare time making rosaries. She became a choir nun on 18 November 1663; she spent 8 hours a day in the choir, singing when needed and spending the time between by praying for the Pope, the Church and the souls in Purgatory. Though she was uneducated and even illiterate, Sister Giuseppa was known for her theological insights, her gifts of wisdom and prophecy, and her severely ascetic life. She was consulted by people from all walks of life for her spiritual insights.

January 21st is also the Feast Day of St. Meinrad of Einsiedeln🙏🏼💐Patron of Hospitality.
.
.
.
May have been a member of the noble Hohenzollern family. Educated, professed as a Benedictine monk, and ordained at the abbey on the island of Reichenau, in Lake Constance in Switzerland. Teacher in Zurich, Switzerland. Around 829 he withdrew to live in prayer as a hermit in the Black Forest. As word of his holiness and wisdom spread, he attracted many visitors and would-be students. In 836 he retreated to a more remote location near Einsiedeln (which means hermitage). On 21 January 861 he received, fed, sheltered and entertained two rough-looking travellers. They were thieves, and when they found that Meinrad was a holy hermit who owned nothing worth stealing, they were so angry that they beat him to death. Legend says that his body was protected by ravens who attacked and chased away the murderers. Because he was such a holy man, he was considered a martyr, but there is no evidence that he died defending the faith. In the years following his death, a series of hermits, including Blessed Benno, used his hermitage. In 934 a Benedictine monastery was built there. It survives today, still serving as monastery, retreat center, and pilgrimage site. The statue of the Blessed Virgin in its huge church is thought to have belonged to Meinrad himself.

Foster-sister of Saint Emerentiana. At age 12 or 13 Agnes was ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods and lose her virginity by rape. She was taken to a Roman temple to Minerva (Athena), and when led to the altar, she made the Sign of the Cross. She was threatened, then tortured when she refused to turn against God. Several young men presented themselves, offering to marry her, whether from lust or pity is not known. She said that to do so would be an insult to her heavenly Spouse, that she would keep her consecrated virginity intact, accept death, and see Christ. Martyr. Mentioned in first Eucharistic prayer. On her feast day two lambs are blessed at her church in Rome, Italy and then their wool is woven into the palliums (bands of white wool) which the pope confers on archbishops as symbol of their jurisdiction.
